Analysis of Anisotropic Transverse Flow in Pb–Pb Collisions at 40A GeV in the NA49 Experiment

Abstract

Anisotropic transverse flow is one of the most important observables in the study of ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. Detector acceptance non-uniformity in the transverse plane introduces substantial bias in the flow analysis dictating the need for specific corrections. The results of flow analysis in Pb-Pb collisions at the beam energy of 40
